Welcome to Windows 7 Forums. Our forum is dedicated to helping you find support and solutions for any problems regarding your Windows 7 PC be it Dell, HP, Acer, Asus or a custom build. We also provide an extensive Windows 7 tutorial section that covers a wide range of tips and tricks.

The problem, most likely is in the printer application that sounds the "print complete" sound. It's not your PC or your sound card.

When you upgraded to Windows 7, from XP, did you install Windows 7 compatible drivers and applications software for the printer? If not, that is probably the problem. Some sound functions are handled differently in Vista/Windows 7 than they were in XP, thus Vista/Win 7 specific printer software is needed. If there is no Win 7 drivers except for "basic function" drivers built into Windows you will probably never get it to sound.

I have checked the drivers for the printer and the PDF Print to file virtual printer. Both are Windows 7 64-bit updates, so this seems to be a dead end.

Printing to both printer definitions give a Pop-Up notification and no sound under Windows 7, but give a sound under Windows XP.

The Pop-Up Notification of print completion is controlled by the Print Server. There are check boxes under the "Print Server Properties" > Advanced tab to set notifications for both local and network printers. I have both boxes checked.

I tested this under Windows XP and the same boxes controlled the Pop-Up Notification and the "Print Complete" sound. I would expect Windows 7 to work the same.

Can anyone verify that the "Print Complete" sound ever plays under any Windows 7 configuration?
